I have been very impressed with the software in our Volvo, but one of my frustrations is that Volvo’s implementation of AAOS in our model does not support Apple Music. My hope is that this announcement foreshadows a future software update for other Volvo models to make Apple Music available in Google Play.

And while I’m asking Volvo for things, throw in the MLB and Audacy apps and make the SiriusXM app capable of playing internet stations and podcasts in addition to the satellite stations. Easy peasy.

This looks like an interesting #Android form factor.

We have the pleasure of continuing a trend that we've followed with previous #Android releases, by making publicly available an Android #Automotive OS emulator for the latest release of Android less than 24 hours after the source code became publicly available.

There are a few changes to #AAOS 16, and we look forward to hearing folks opinions and experiences.

Details on how to access the emulator can be found at https://github.com/snappautomotive/README?tab=readme-ov-file#using-a-pre-built-image

Hello #Android #Automotive OS 16.... Looks like the left panel has changed, and there's now an assistant button where the volume button was before, but, on the whole, #Android16 #AAOS from the #AOSP seems very familiar.

Place your bets please; Will the #AAOS build for Pixel Tablets become a thing in the #AOSP, or will #Google consider the #Automotive #Android variant a proprietary thing, and not make a non-GAS buildable version of it available for the PT?

Not making an #AOSP buildable #AAOS for the Pixel Tablet would, to me, be a signal of where Google is heading with its new "closed development, then throw it over the wall" AOSP model, and it'd be a sad direction to see them go in.

Prototyping in Android Automotive 🤩 We just hit the next milestone: Android Automotive OS running on a Khadas VIM3Pro test bench – with our new PoC prototype app live and road-ready. Real code – 100 % Android Automotive, no throw-away mock-ups. Real road tests – install the app in a mule/series production car and start collecting driver feedback - months, even years, earlier than today’s process. Test before invest – spot integration risks while a change still costs hours, not millions. From prototype to production – no double work: what you demo is what you ship. 🙌 Huge shout-out to Snapp Automotive for their free AAOS build for the Khadas VIM3 – taking us from emulator to hardware in minutes. #AndroidAutomotive #KhadasVIM3 #SnappAutomotive #Prototyping #DigitalCockpit #UX #AutomotiveSoftware #Mobility #TestBeforeInvest

Seems there's a lot going on with #AAOS for #Android15 atm in Google. Not long after we get an lts3 tag, we now have an lts4 tag; https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/libs/systemui/+/refs/tags/android-automotiveos-14.0.0_lts4

Great to see the #AOSP get a bunch of externally created merges to the yukawa device tree, which is used for the #VIM3 builds for the @snappautomotive #AAOS dev kit.
